Computer Simulation of Surface‐Initiated Controlled Radical Polymerization: Effect of Free‐Monomer Model on Brush Properties
No full textMonte Carlo simulation is employed using the bond‐fluctuation model (BFM) to explore the role of free‐monomer model on surface‐initiated controlled polymerization from flat substrates. Three free‐monomer models differ in two aspects: 1) their extent of excluded volume interactions between free‐monomer/polymer segments and 2) monomer availability (finite or infinite) during the simulation. In the explicit monomer (EM) model, free‐monomers behave as a single BFM‑type units. In the phantom monomer (PM) model, free‐monomers act analogously to those in the EM model but lack excluded volume interactions with the growing polymers. In the implicit monomer (IM) model, no explicit monomers are included in the simulation box; the polymers can grow as long as space is available near active chain‐ends. It is found that the breadth of the molecular weight distribution of the grown polymers decreases from EM, to PM, to IM models. With the EM model, free‐monomers are excluded from the near‐surface region, while with the PM model they are not. Due to its excluded volume interactions, the EM model tends to compress the brush against the substrate. Finally, the relaxation of the shape of a polydisperse brush after the polymerization reaction ends has been reported
1/16/2019: Course Change Form MGMT 205
No full textChanges designation to Management and renumbers for course sequence
1/16/2019: Course Change Form MGMT 313
No full textThe change in this course brings a Marketing Research focus to the degree program. This focus represents a good addition to the design thinking focus in other programs, and will provide Management majors with greater analytical skills in a Marketing context
1/23/2019: Course Change Form COMM 401/601
No full textA course focusing on how to design effective visualizations for communicating data and on how to deliver those visualizations in speech or prose is needed for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students. This course is required for students in the Data Science MS program, but is also of use to students in the School of Management
1/16/2019: Program Change - Minor
No full textThis proposal is to remove the highlighted text from the catalog:
A minor is an area of concentrated study outside of the major area of study. A minor requires a minimum of four classes (16 credits) in a directed area of study. Minors may require coursework beyond the minimum 161 credits required for completion of the major. Coursework taken outside of Kettering University is not transferable towards a minor. Minors are not required for graduation though a student may elect to pursue a minor in an area of additional interest. Minors appear on a student’s transcript at student declaration, and requirements must be completed at the time of graduation. Refer to the “Minors” section of this catalog for a complete list of minors and their requirements.
Rationale: Requests to make exceptions to this policy are made by departments regularly. All Department heads were notified of this proposed change and there was no opposition noted
2/6/2019: Course Change Form EE 490
